How Long to Export 1080i Sequence using Quicktime?

I just received my first HD footage from a client to transfer to DVD using iDVD. I'm wondering what other people have experienced exporting 1080i footage using Quicktime (as a reference file - not self contained). My sequence is 1.5 hours long.
I first tried to export it using Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60 and it said it would take over 40 hours! After reading some other posts, I looked at the sequence settings and changed something (field dominance perhaps?) from Upper to None. This has brought the time down to a mere 9 hours!
Is this time normal for exporting such a long movie? I want to know so I can budget time into future projects!
Thanks. Sorry to appear such a novice, but its my first foray into this type of footage!
Jenny

This project was on a Dual 2 GHz Power PC G5 with 6 gigs of RAM. The whole thing finally finished -- but, wow, I was not prepared for a 9 hour export (which, in reality, turned out to be about 5 hours).
Thanks for any feedback you can provide on processing times.

Exporting to Flash using Quicktime pro

I'm trying to export a 43 min vid from FCP6 using quicktime conversion. I want to export to Flash. Its for web content, and its in widescreen.
Any help with size and converting to flash would help. I've never done web content before.
Thanks!!

First, some questions: 1) what's the purpose? 2) who's your intended audience? 3) has it got to be done quickly, as in a short deadline? 4) Why Flash? 5) Why 43 minutes (have you ever in your life watched a 43 minute streaming video on the internet on anything but the most powerful 'puter with the highest-speed, dedicated internet connection)? 6) Do you care that what people see you throw up on the internet ultimately reflects on how you yourself are perceived by those same people?
For what could be a quick disaster, or if this project is mainly for sh*ts and giggles, follow the advice given in the first reply, post it pronto and don't bother with the rest of THIS reply.
Or, if you're on a deadline, pay someone who TRULY knows what they're doing to do it for you -- and they might still balk (if they have any scruples) at a 43 minute web video unless you've got a really good reason to make folks wait for way longer than 43 minutes of stop-and-start Flash stuff.
Otherwise, if you're not in a hurry:
FIRST, procure a book on the subject, like Apple's "QuickTime for the Web" (available on line and at Borders, for sure).
THEN, with some reading under your belt, be prepared to start experimenting with combinations of smaller movie dimensions and FPS rates (generally, half of what the original is); then on to varying types of video compression (Sorenson or Sorenson3 have historically given some of the best results, with H.264, the newest and more difficult to configure giving the truest quality, but not discounting the various MPEG settings; and last, but certainly not least, playing with your audio compressions to see what you're willing to lose in order to (hopefully) gain an internet audience. Like it or not, it depends on YOUR vid's content and audio as to how to make it small enough to be seen in its best internet presence.
OR, You might try some of Compressor's export settings -- and be totally satisfied. It's all relative to the work you've created and how long you're willing to work at what you're willing to sacrifice to still pull off a good illusion of your original video at a fraction of its original size.
I wish it weren't so, but there's no quick and easy answer to your question if you're serious at all about the end result. You have to consider all the angles I've posed (and then some) to get good results that'll show YOU in your best light.

How can I export a slideshow as Quicktime video in iPhoto 9.5.1?

I want to export a slideshow I created in iPhoto 9.5.1 as a Quicktime video, but neither File > Export nor the Export button at the bottom give me a Custom Export option. I believe this was an option in older versions of iPhoto. Thanks in advance!

iPhoto 9.5.1 no longer can export as a QuickTime movie.
You will have to convert the exported video file to add a QuickTime wrapper. Try to save a QuickTime movie from QuickTime 7. (download here: QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later.)

How do I export a Movie to Quicktime? And do I need to?

Hello, how do I export a Movie in iMovie 11 to Quicktime, when the option is not listed?
I have created some short videos with Lavelier Line6 mic, which apparently records your voice in stereo on one track, I am told (although I can't see stereo tracks anywhere within iMovie project, it looks like one track below the picture - but then I wouldn't know what to look for as I'm new to this!).
I need to, I am told, export the final movie to Quicktime, in order to create a mono track rather than stereo. I can't see how to do this, as Quicktime is not an option in my Share menu (facebook etc is there, but not Quicktime).
Could someone advise me whether I need to do this at all? Is a movie soundtrack automatically converted to mono if there is only one track?
(Also, there is a small amount of hiss in the recording, which I have removed with background noise reduction, but could that hiss come from the unused track, does anyone know? And if so, what is the best way to get rid of that track? Of course, it may not be that at all! I don't really want to get into complicated removal of audio tracks into other software and then readding to the picture, if I can avoid it.)
Thanks for any advice you can give. Fran x

Use "Share to File".

Photo slideshows exported to 1080p using Quicktime

I'm looking to export a High Definition quicktime file of my photos. I'm testing now so when blu-ray or HD-DVD discs become available, I can start archiving my thousands of digital photos.
While the overal look of what I've done isn't terrible, it's still not quite as clear as when my pictures play standard slideshow programs.
Another issue that I think is affecting the detail, is that the aspect ratio is slightly skewed which appears to be twisting my image thereby causing a blurry image.
Am I missing something, or is there a simple solution? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

QuickTime Pro isn't licensed to export audio from MPEG 1 or 2 files.
Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert your .mpg to QuickTime ( or iPod) formats.

TS4009 How long to restore e-mail use?

Does anyone know how long it takes to restore the usage of my e-mail address, (being able to send and receive e-mail) now that I've figured out how to change the settings of my storage? My account has been down for approximately 7 or so hours? And will I receive any of the e-mails anyone attempted to send to me today during the outage window? Also, does anyone know if the user attempting to send me e-mails during this outage window received a "rejected" notice from my e-mail address or if there was any sort of grace period? Any insight is greatly appreciated! (Very frustrating that you cannot manager your storage & backup by logging into a standard laptop...what happens if you are no longer the owner of the device you've associated your iTunes and e-mail address with for the last 10 years, but you didn't want to use that e-mail address on a new company-issues iPhone? )
Thank you for your assistance.

How do I export a movie using a different format (iMovie 2013)

Title question. I can only seem to export my movie using .mp4 and I've seen on youtube using previous versions of iMovie being able to change the format...
I use a Sony DSC-HX20V to capture my footage which formats the videos in AVCHD and it records in an image quality of 50p. I want to also know how to import these videos onto a 4th generation iPod Touch and which format will support the device better. Thank You.

Although I don't use it myself, saving to Theater creates versions for all sorts of devices including iPod Touches.
iMovie 10 help says:
"When you add a movie, trailer, or clip to the Theater, iMovie creates versions of your movie tailored for local playback (1080p HD), playback on an iOS device (720p HD), and web streaming (480p SD)."

How to download WWDC 2006 keynote using QuickTime Pro?

Hi!
How can I download the WWDC keynote using quicktime pro?
Matt

You can't...The video is streamed. One of the biggest draw backs to steaming a video is you can't download it..(draw back for end user)........ You can use a program to capture the video on the monitor.

I Did Not Upgrade to iOS 7 (Thank Goodness). How Long Can I Continue to Use iOS 6?

I've only been an iPhone user for a couple of years. Up until this "upgrade" things have been fairly acceptable. After reading all of the push-back on iOS 7 and seeing a couple of friends' phones that were upgraded, there is no way I'm upgrading. I'm eligible for a new phone with Verizon now and before making a decision, I'm going to take some time looking at options. My question is, how long can I use my 4s with iOS 6 installed before things stop working? I use a couple of very serious apps on my iPhone that I need for work (weather-related) and I'd like to make sure that they are still functional while I look for options. Any idea how long before things just stop working? Can one go indefinitely, as long as one doesn't upgrade the apps too? Thanks for any insight.

You can use it as long as your apps are supported and you dont need to restore your phone. I have an iPod 4 that I cant update on and my apps are slowly becoming out of date. As apps are updated for ios 7 some updates may not be compadible with ios 6 so if you really need an app to update good luck. If you phone is broke or something and has to be restored when you restore it it will be automatically updated to ios 7.

How do I convert video's using quicktime

I can't figure out how to convert videos to quicktime so I can put them on my ipod with sound.Can anybody explain this to me?

QuickTime expects video files with seperate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, iTunes & the iPod (both of which use QuickTime) only show the video and no sound.
One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

How to splice audio tracks together using QuickTime 10

Can someone please explain to me exactly how I can splice one track to another using QuickTime 10. I've been able to do so using QuickTime Pro 7, simply cutting and pasting, but can't figure out how to do it in Quicktime 10.

bump.
Is the answer that Quicktime Payer v10.0 that comes with Snow Leopard is only a player? And that in order to splice two or more Quicktime movies together, one has to revert back to Quicktime Pro?

How can I accept certificates for using QuickTime as player in web pages ?

Hi,
I want to use QuickTime embedded in web-pages as a player for my content.
When I provide a link that is under a certificate, the player (web page that hat this embedded) won't ask for approval of the certificate.
This will make the player un-usable, as it won't be displayed in the page.
How can I see if the content can be played and ask the user to open a new page, approve the certificate and the come back to the parent page and play the media.
Thank you,
Cheers,

Well I am actually using a template. And the flash video that
was created is way beyond my ability. So I tried initially to
separate the two, the intro video, and the navigation. But they are
intertwined in a way that I do not understand. I do need to do the
variable thing. I took a flash class in school, and my book does
not touch anywhere close to this. I know its probably too
complicated to explain through a forum, but can you recommend any
resources online or books that would go more in depth with this
sort if thing. If I can just see the way it works on another site,
I know that I can do on mine.
Thank you!!!

Enter 30 as the Frames per Second value.
Click the Options button and choose Millions of Colors+ from the PNG Options dialog box so you can export the image sequence with an alpha channel (see Figure 6).
